Make sure that if you have any item on a temporary mount above the dash on the bell mediums , what could happen if it fell off and landed on any of the switches on the centre console. Wouldn't want to have to explain why the engine over sped when the Gov switch was bumped to manual, or a fuel switch was bumped to the off position. I know they are supposed to be lifted to move the switch, but ya just never know!!

Attached might be of interest given the nature of this subject chain, then again - maybe not! Recently issued Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) regarding the codifying of existing exemptions related to PEDs. This initiative appears to be welcome evidence of regulatory streamlining.

Have a look at the following section in subparagraph b) on page 5 of the attached NPA which may require additional investigation.

which states:

“b) that the air operator has validated that the use of PEDs will not impair the aircraft’s system or equipment during all phases of flight including critical phases of flight;” The key word being “validate”.
